The biggest challenge that I have in career coaching is that I run into plenty of people who are so hell bent on finding a job. Finding a job is simple. Job boards, word of mouth, wanted ads, Craigslist, “APPLY INSIDE” signs outside retail stores, and many other things. My job is to coach you into finding work that fulfills your idea of success. I am afraid of success and equally afraid of failure. That wonderful place is like purgatory. You can't go back but for some reason you are not moving forward. That is another one of my jobs, helping you manage your fears. So, this means that my people want more than just “to find a job”. If you would like a job, again, there are job boards. If you are struggling to clarify your career goals or lack strategy, you got me :)

Most people think that because they are good at something that it is what they should do. I was good at being an Administrative Assistant (aside from my unpleasant demeanor sometimes). I was smart, savvy, organized and always had good ideas to make a process better. However, I had no desire to do that. Don’t get caught up into your skills so much that they dictate what you do. Any set of skills can lead down any path. That is where “what you want” comes into play. I decided to use my skill set to start this movement. Your commitment to your skill set is absolutely necessary but attachment to a certain career based on those skills can prove to be a huge mistake.
